Why is my elo so low? or is it?
@Nate, I reviewed a dozen of your games just now and I'm saying this to help you not to make you feel bad but some of your games barely resemble chess, you develop 1 piece then run around with the queen, you're clearly not paying attention to what the opponent is doing you're just pressing out moves you want to play and basically almost every move is a mistake. However you've only played 100 or so games so give it time and start tuning in to Chess Brah check out their "building habits" series, you have my word your rating will go beyond 800 this year if you start watching Building Habits. Peace
I can teach you EXACTLY how to think during the game (opening, middlegame and endgame). Your chess understanding will never be the same and you will improve a lot. I charge €35/h (if you can't afford it, we can negotiate the price). If you can’t afford too many lessons, don’t worry. I can teach you a lot in an hour. Here to help if you are interested.
If you want to study by yourself, read ‘Logical Chess’. It is really instructive book. You have it on youtube as well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0eTB7oHeRgM&list=PLUrgfsyInqNa1S4i8DsGJwzx1Uhn2AqlT
